A final reminder for Canadian visitors: Today is the last day of analog over the air TV transmissions for most TV stations in Canada. Tomorrow they will begin transmitting in digital format. If you receive TV via an old fashioned TV antenna you will need a recent TV that contains the necssary circuitry or a coverter box to watch the new format. Cable and satellite TV viewers are not effected. It should also be noted that if you use a radio to receive TV audio for some reason it will not be usable to receive the audio from digital TV stations. I haven't been looking for them, but I haven't seen any sign digital capable TV audio portable radios are available in Canada.
In Saskatoon specifically CTV and Global's Saskatoon transmitters will go digital. CBC's English and French TV stations will remain analog. As noted before the transition has been a bit of a mess as far as which stations will and which won't switch over to digital tomorrow, so consult with the stations in your area if you have any doubts.
